These innovative FGF2 beads steadily release growth factor into the media, thus enabling researchers to reduce the feeding frequency of stem cell cultures to bi-weekly. Scientists are able to reduce the time and resources allocated to replenishing culture media, whilst saving on costs at the same time through less media changes. A more stable stem cell culture environment is also attained, through reduction of spontaneous differentiation.

Philippe Fixe, International Marketing Manager at tebu-bio, says "These StemBeads FGF, already used and verified in many large American organisations working on stem cell culture, are an innovative and highly interesting addition to our continuously expanding offer in the field of iPS cells and stem cell isolation, culture and cell reprogramming."
